LMMS is a free cross-platform alternative to commercial programs like
|
|
|
|
|
FL Studio®, which allow you to produce music with your computer. This includes
|
|
|
|
|
the creation of melodies and beats, the synthesis and mixing of sounds, and
|
|
|
|
|
arranging of samples. You can have fun with your MIDI-keyboard and much more;
|
|
|
|
|
all in a user-friendly and modern interface.

Before coding a new big feature, please _always_
|
|
|
|
|
[file an issue](https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/issues/new) for your idea and
|
|
|
|
|
suggestions about your feature and about the intended implementation on GitHub
|
|
|
|
|
or post to the LMMS developers mailinglist (lmms-devel@lists.sourceforge.net)
|
|
|
|
|
and wait for replies! Maybe there are different ideas, improvements, hints or
|
|
|
|
|
maybe your feature is not welcome/needed at the moment.
